The patent application (Publication Number: US20240033658A1) describes a degasser for degassing a mobile phase used in sample separation devices. The degasser includes a degasser chamber with a degasser volume for receiving a degassing membrane, a delimiting unit to separate spaces with different vapor pressures, and a suction unit to remove gas that passed through the membrane. Additionally, the degasser may have an associated gas supply unit to maintain pressure balance and features for adjusting fluidic restrictions in the suction unit. The invention aims to efficiently remove gas from the mobile phase to improve sample separation processes.

Furthermore, the patent application details methods for degassing the mobile phase using the described degasser. By creating spaces with varying vapor pressures and utilizing suction units and associated gas supply units, the methods ensure effective degassing of the mobile phase. The inclusion of restriction adjustment units allows for fine-tuning the degassing process. These methods are designed to enhance the performance of sample separation devices, particularly those operating at high pressures, such as liquid chromatography or HPLC devices. Overall, the invention offers a comprehensive solution for degassing mobile phases in sample separation applications, potentially improving the accuracy and efficiency of analytical processes.
